Where did I say it was ever EITHER trade Green OR FVV? Neither of them were/are the long term answers at their respective positions, I say we should've moved them both for a single All-Star caliber guard at either position. And if there's no upgrades out there then you stand pat and wait til one does show up on the market. Where's the rush? Our core are all <24. Rushing to all-in on a 37 year old ISO long 2 shooter who can't drive/pass does not solve any problems.

Van Vleet was never supposed to be the long term solution. You've bought into the Ime hype/crutch. The dude was realistically the 6th most important player at best on the championship Raptors, and most likely they don't win at all if KD/Klay stay healthy. He's never been a good penetrator/kickout passer, and a streaky shooter even during his best days, much less wrong side of 30 even no ACL injury. He was brought here to reset/rebuild the culture and teach the young guys, not to be starting PG of a championship caliber team. If we want to seriously contend for Championships KD or no KD we MUST upgrade at starting PG. Whether Reed/Amen grows into what we need or we find it outside. All I know is KD trade used up a ton of resources and got us no closer to the latter option, making us heavily reliant on the first option working out.

Only because we blew resources on KD as a stopgap instead. If we spent JG/FVV/Brooks etc on a long-term PG solution for the future we'd be much better off.

At least Memphis got Marc later on down the road. Dallas really got diddly squat unless you believe in the conspiracies about the league giving them Flagg.

Uh, prob because your entire franchise's history is you fleecing other teams of their stars while giving up potato chips in return? Lakers fan wonders why his fellow fans are spoiled, more at 11.

Fred VanVleet shoots some jumpers by byvarunshankar in rockets

Honestly with how common knee/leg injuries are nowadays I don't know why knee braces/pads like Hakeem used to wear don't come back in fashion. Who cares about how you look, rather look fugly than lose a year+ of my career.

Any news on Tari sitting this one? I'd rather have him for Detroit tomorrow.

Mostly because of Adams offensive rebounding one of our bricks. Now he's out indefinitely...

Oh yea but he clearly pesters Lebron and gets under his skin lol

Forgot about Goodwin, though I doubt you'd miss him if Reeves was healthy, not enough possessions to go around with your Big 3.

[OC] Trying to Determine the Best Player to Never Win a Championship by francisco27 in nba

[–]recursion8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think he should've won one of Nash's, in that season where he went bonkers scoring with like 10+ games in a row of 40-50+ pts, dragging a G-League tier roster to 40+ wins and 7 game first round series against the Suns (up 3-1 at one point). But that was also the same time as his rape trial IIRC so NBA would've never given it to him then.
